Mods - Not sure if this is music or BS - Feel free to move it if you feel it belongs below the line.

I am currently reading the 'Rex Mundi' comic books - Set in an alternative reality in which the Protestant reformation was stamped out, the Frech Revolution was quashed and the US civil war was never resolved.

It is set in the 1930's, in France, under the rule of King Louis XXII; the DeMedici family are big in commerce; The US is divided into the Federal and Confederate States; slavery is still rife; the Catholic church is a mega power with the holy Inquisition being its global enforcers and empires are on the brink of war, including the Holy Roman Empire (Austrian/Chrstian) and the Ottaman empire(Turkish/Moslem).

It is really quite interesting. Very well drawn, for comic afficionados and was 'Holy Grail Themed' long before Dan Brown started his series.

Anyroads - That is the scenario set.

What folk music would be about in that world?

Slave songs would still be sung by slaves of course.

Traditional music would probably be the norm as long as it did not upset the religious authorities.

Anyone got any ideas of how it would have gone?

Cheers
